130 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

130 Union Street is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building located in the Columbia Street neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by David Sjauw. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in early 2022 during a construction period that generated multiple complaints about construction dust affecting indoor air quality in both common areas and individual apartments.

Notably, in March 2022, the third-floor apartment experienced heat and hot water problems that warranted both HPD and Department of Health interventions, along with concerns about missing smoke detectors and inadequate heating systems. The building has a pattern of regulatory compliance challenges, including an unfiled annual bedbug report violation (Class A) issued in 2021 that was closed, and a more recent DOB violation in April 2023 regarding failure to file a 2022 external low-pressure inspection, which was ultimately dismissed in October 2023. While the building's bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 consistently show zero infestations, including the most recent filings from 2023-2024, there remain several open violations from 2022 inspections.

These include requirements to post proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detection, gas leak procedures, and housing information, as well as to repair the missing smoke detector in the third-floor apartment. The building's current bedbug reporting history suggests successful management of this particular issue, though it should be noted that these reports cover a period when violations regarding notification requirements were recorded. The most recent documented inspection from March 2023 showed compliance with the previously issued violations related to emergency preparedness and safety system notifications.
